I watched some of it. The dude is a hero of mine but I disagree with his pushing so hard for virtual reality. It's just not for me. Cool technology, yes, but has implications for the human mind that I do not like. But John Carmack is a walking computer anyway, so it makes sense for him.

Part of my not-caring-about-the-camera attitude is because I simply don't take very many pictures to begin with, except documentation purposes such as posting pictures of my old computers on VOGONS. When I take "nice" pictures I use my old film cameras, because I don't take very many to begin with, …

Oi, I, one of these so called “people”, I don’t want that. I just want better batery life and better processor performance. I don’t need a “new” design or three useless cameras. I am also one of these people. The processor performance is good enough for me though. When I tap on something, it comes …

I always keep some menu options in my CONFIG.SYS for switching between memory managers. Usually I have: HIMEM only HIMEM + EMM386 HIMEM + EMM386 NOEMS JEMMEX And I keep JEMMEX the default, as it gives me the most free memory, until I have to run the odd game or program that doesn't like it, in which …

There's nothing wrong with using real hardware. Or another XP machine with NTVDM. Using a modern computer to run that software would be so overkill it's not even funny. How about a cheap generic Socket 7 machine or something? It only has to have an uber-reliable disk drive and backup system. That …

I used to run DOSBox on a Pentium III with Windows 98. It was as redundant as it sounds. I think I was doing it because I had not discovered the CRT bug patch for games made with Turbo Pascal.

No iPhone SE successor? I'm out! I will use my iPhone SE until it functions no more. I'll replace the battery and hack the OS as much as is necessary to make it continue working. When it breaks, unless Apple has got their heads back in the game, I'm going to be forced to switch to Android. Apple had …
